Is ZIP code 49855 safe? Honest data snapshot

ZIP code 49855 sits within Marquette County, MI. The figures below are the county's own FBI UCR numbers for 2024, the most accurate available statistic for this location, not a ZIP-specific calculation.

Marquette County reported a violent-crime rate of 41 per 100,000 residents and a property-crime rate of 182 per 100,000 in 2024, drawing on county-level agency submissions.

Based on just 27 reported violent incidents across a county population of 66,017, this count is too low to support a reliable per-100K rate comparison. It may reflect a genuinely low-crime county, or it may reflect incomplete agency-level reporting to the FBI UCR Program for this county and year, small county-level counts are common in FBI Table 10 and should be treated as a data point, not a precise safety ranking.

ZIP 49855 is the largest ZIP in Marquette County by population, 33,075 residents (#1 of 12 county ZIPs), across 206.92 square miles (160/sq mi). For a full breakdown of Marquette County's crime categories and year-over-year trend, see the Marquette County crime page linked below.
